Not just food.
Several Survivors had found some first-aid medical packs.
Bandages, hemostatic powder, antibiotics, and disinfecting alcohol were rummaged through and left in a mess.
Some people even cradled an entire box of mineral water, hiding it behind their backs, terrified that others would snatch it away...
Hm?
It had only been an hour.
These Survivor already treated this place like their own home??
Zheng Wei saw this as well.
Her expression instantly turned cold.
"What are you doing?"
Zheng Wei's voice suddenly turned Freezing Cold, pointing at a few people behind the Survivor.
The warehouse fell silent for a fraction of a second.
Those Survivor who were taking things sheepishly put down the supplies in their hands, lowering their heads to pretend nothing had happened.
"Sorry."
Cao Yong followed Zheng Wei's gaze, and his expression instantly became extremely awkward.
"Everyone is too hungry."
"We fled all the way here and haven't eaten for a long time."
Meng Xiaorou was also a bit flustered, her voice sounding pitiful.
"Many people are injured."
"We saw medical packs nearby, so..."
She hurriedly added, "Rest assured, we will definitely not take them for nothing, and we will definitely compensate you later!!"
Compensate??
Zheng Wei sneered.
She took a step forward, and a silver blade slowly emerged at her fingertips.
"Letting you in was already an act of great benevolence."
"And the result?"
"Rummaging through the supplies in the warehouse without permission?"
Zheng Wei was genuinely furious.
Saving people was one thing.
Being treated as a sucker by others was another matter entirely.
Especially since these people had just been let in and hadn't figured out their own situation yet before starting to rummage for supplies.
Thieves!!
Robbers!!
Bandits!!
This kind of behavior could be completely understood as provocation.
The Survivor were so frightened that they all lowered their heads.
The man hugging the mineral water hurriedly put the box back on the ground.
"It's fine."
Yang Feng suddenly spoke up.
His voice was very gentle, and a friendly smile still hung on his face.
"He's still just a child, after all."
"It's normal for him to be hungry."
Zheng Wei was slightly stunned, turning to look at Yang Feng with an expression of utter disbelief.
Was this really Yang Feng?
That decisive, ruthlessly cruel, cold, and deep man...
Something is wrong!!
Old Hu stood to the side, also narrowing his eyes.
Yang Feng would never show great benevolence; looking at that gentle smile instead made people feel chilled to the bone.
"Right, right, right!"
"This young man is right!"
"He's just a child, after all~~"
Hearing Yang Feng say this, the old hag's eyes instantly lit up.
She protected her grandson tighter in her arms, squeezing out a fawning smile on her face.
"The child was starving."
"He's still so young, what does he know about so many rules?"
"You are all capable big figures, surely you won't argue with a child, right?"
The old hag seemed to have gained the upper hand and shoved a pack of nutrient energy bars back into her good grandson's arms.
Yang Feng's smile became even gentler.
"Indeed."
"Understandable."
Hearing this, the old woman instantly relaxed even more.
She even felt that the young man in front of her, although looking frightening, was soft-hearted after all.
As long as the child was brought up, most people would back down; no adult would bicker with a little child.
Having lived for so many years, she was all too clear on this point.
"Hehe."
Yang Feng chuckled, shifting the topic as he looked at the three Evolver.
Cao Yong, Lin Xiao, Meng Xiaorou.
"You three are Reincarnators, right?"
Cao Yong was slightly taken aback.
"Reincarnators?"
This word felt somewhat unfamiliar to him.
"Anyone who has experienced the samsara of disaster can be called Reincarnators."
"Of course."
"You are more accustomed to calling yourselves Evolver."
Yang Feng explained indifferently.
Cao Yong hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
"Yes."
"We injected the evolutionary serum."
As he spoke, he took out his phone.
On the Humanity App interface, their information was displayed.
【Reincarnation Count】: 1.
Meng Xiaorou and Lin Xiao were the same.
They were the first-round Survivor of the bloody doomsday and the most common Evolver in the City of Doomsday.
"Understood."
"Then I will also introduce myself."
Yang Feng nodded, his smile becoming even brighter.
"We are..."
"Tricksters."
Tricksters?
The three of Cao Yong were stunned in unison and shook their heads at the same time.
They had never heard of this title before.
Yang Feng continued unhurriedly.
"Of course."
"You certainly haven't heard of it."
"This name was actually made up by myself."
Yang Feng shrugged.
Let alone Cao Yong and the others, even the companions beside him had never heard the title 'Tricksters'.
"People from other places call us Polluters."
"That name is too ugly."
"So I changed it."
"Tricksters."
"Our Reincarnation Count is——2."
As his voice fell.
The air in the warehouse instantly froze.
Cao Yong's pupils violently constricted.
Meng Xiaorou's complexion turned even paler.
Lin Xiao instinctively gripped the Huifeng short spear in his hand, his palms instantly soaked in cold sweat.
Reincarnation Count: 2.
They were not people of the same path!!
Yang Feng and the others were not Survivor of the City of Doomsday!!
They came from another city, a cursed city polluted by weirdness.
Invaders.
Polluters.
These people who called themselves 'Tricksters' were very, very dangerous!!
Cao Yong finally understood.
Why this group of people could easily clear out the corpse tide.
Having experienced 2 samsaras, their foundation was deeper, and their strength was naturally much stronger than the Evolver...
This was not a stronghold of the Evolver either.
This was a polluted land.
This was a cursed land.
"What do you want to achieve by telling us all this??"
Cao Yong swallowed, his voice raspy.
Yang Feng's brilliant smile remained unchanged.
His gaze swept across those Survivor who had stolen supplies once more.
"Nothing much."
"Just wanted to make you understand one thing."
"What you just ate was not free food."
"What you just used was not free medical supplies either."
Yang Feng's voice gradually turned icy, causing everyone to feel a chill down their spines.
"After entering Ghost Street..."
"Everything has a price, including your lives."
Saying this.
Cao Yong's heart sank to the bottom.
The air in the warehouse seemed to be sucked dry at this moment.
Those Survivor who were still crying, thanking, and kowtowing just moments ago all froze in place.
Some still clutched compressed biscuits in their hands that they didn't have time to put back.
Some hid mineral water in their arms.
Some stuffed a few packs of antibiotics into their trouser pockets.
Some still had food crumbs at the corners of their mouths, their eyes flickering, not daring to meet Yang Feng's gaze.
They finally realized one thing.
This was not a shelter, much less a relief station.
The place they had barged into was—Ghost Street.
Everything had a price.
Including food.
Including medicine.
Including safety.
And including their own lives.
In the corner.
That half-white-haired old hag tightly protected her grandson, clearly still not grasping the situation.
"Alright, alright, I know."
"A few energy bars, isn't it fine just to put them back..."
Her voice was sharp, carrying a bit of a guilty conscience, yet she forcefully put on a righteous front.
There was a bit of unwillingness in the old hag's eyes as she fished out the hidden energy bars from her grandson's arms, gritting her teeth and placing them on a nearby shelf.
Not good!!
Cao Yong's expression changed abruptly, knowing what Yang Feng was about to do.
He was going to make an example of someone!!
"Oh?"
"Then what about the ones already eaten?"
Yang Feng raised an eyebrow and continued asking condescendingly.
"This young man."
"You just said it yourself."
"He is still young, just a child, it's understandable..."
The old hag brought up the previous words again.
In her eyes, 'understandable' meant forgiveness, meant no longer bickering, meant letting it go.
"Hehe."
Speaking to this point, something seemed to move in the shadows.
Fast.
Too fast.
An afterimage flashed past.
Xiaobai silently slid out from the shadows, unknowingly arriving behind the old hag.
Eight scarlet compound eyes slowly rotated.
It tilted its head, looking at the boy who had secretly eaten the compressed biscuits.
The brat also seemed to sense something, stopping the chewing motion in his mouth and looking up at the ceiling.
Ten eyes locked gazes.
The brat's eyes happened to meet the eight scarlet compound eyes devoid of human emotion.
Ah!!!
The scream hadn't even had time to escape his mouth.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
A cluster of transparent spider silk shot out, entangling the boy's body.
Mouth, arms, legs... all were bound by the spider silk.
"Mm~~ mm mm~~"
The boy struggled in panic, but couldn't even make a sound.
Xiaobai reached out, grabbed the other end of the spider silk, and gently yanked it.
The boy's entire body was dragged off the ground, like prey captured by a spiderweb, rapidly sliding into the depths of the shadows.
"No!!"
The old hag was completely dumbfounded, instantly letting out a heartbreaking shriek.
"Grandson!!"
"My grandson!!"
She lunged forward like a madwoman, wanting to grab the boy's feet, but the other party's speed was simply too fast, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Creak, creak, creak.
A scalp-numbing chewing sound came over, terrifyingly clear.
It sounded like human flesh being gnawed on, bones being crushed, and then swallowed down into the stomach.
The Survivor in the warehouse broke down.
Someone screamed.
Someone collapsed to sit on the ground.
Someone covered their mouth and retched.
Some had weak legs and were scared straight into pissing their pants.
"No!!!"
"You beasts!!"
"Return my grandson!!"
The old hag's eyes stared red, almost driving her completely insane.
"Don't mind it."
The smile on Yang Feng's face didn't disappear as he gently sighed.
"Xiaobai is still just a child."
